Honestly, I’ve been feeling a little out of sorts lately, so I’m going to spread the cheer I’m not feeling by dipping into my own stash. Depression sucks, doesn’t it? I don’t even like The Doors, but the idea I might Break On Through To The Other Side is pretty appealing right now.
My other excuse is that I have over 1100 followers, which is way more than I had this time last year! So I’m giving away 9 FQs of Sandi Henderson’s Secret Garden, which is also available at Hawthorne Threads, Skye Reve Fabrics, and Fat Quarter Shop
********EDITED TO ADD:************
I’ve also thrown in 2 Lily & Will charm packs and 5 FQs that I think I’ve cut into a little bit. So 2 lovely people will receive a charm pack and some of that FQ bundle in the background. Not bad, eh? A 9 fat quarter bundle + charm packs + matching yardage? Cha-ching!
So here are the rules:
I’ll leave it open through the 15th of February and announce the winner on the 16th. Winner will be chosen by And The Winner Is… WordPress Plug-In. I might even throw in an extra prize of a handmade tote bag or something. Anyone can enter – I’ll ship internationally.
Entries:
- Leave a comment – Whatever is fine – maybe a joke or happy story?
- If you’re a follower – leave an additional comment letting me know
- If you follow SewHappyGeek via Twitter or Facebook, leave me a comment letting me know
- If you tweet or Facebook about it, that’s a bonus entry each – There are helpful buttons at the end of the post
That’s it! 5 possible chances to win this lovely FQ Bundle!
P.S. Because I write a non-Blogger blog, I am one of those unfortunates who will lose my Google Friend Connect widget soon. I really value you as a reader and follower, and I’d like to ask you to consider following me on BlogLovin’, a free service built specifically for people to follow their favourite blogs, or by Feedburner, which is an RSS feed.

I too am struggling mightily with depression too and so little to raise my spirits at the moment. Between the Department of Work and Pensions and the power of attorney it’s not an easy time.
That said, I discovered three fairy quiltmothers this week who are offering me scraps and fabric to keep me quilting like a demon. I hate being needy or be seen to beg so this was a huge surprise. I’ll admit they have made me cry with their generosity and kindness. There are some wonderful people in the world!
Oh i love secret garden! I dont have a single piece of it however.
lol. I buy locally and my local shop doesnt have it.
As well as following on facebook!
You should be a little happy, i follow you! (sometimes when im low… my mom tells me a joke. Why do they put fences around graveyards?……………………………….because people are dying to get in. …… maybe because its so odd.. i cannot help but laugh!)

While it’s no cure for depression, music can make me feel upbeat. I especially like “Linus & Lucy” from A Charlie Brown Christmas, “Root Beer Rag” by Billy Joel, and “Kodachrome” by Simon & Garfunkel. Oldies but goodies! Thanks for sharing these beautiful fabrics.
I follow your blog.

Depression is a hard thing…I know, I’ve been struggling with it for awhile now. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. I’d tell you a joke but I’m not very good at it! Here’s a silly story about my grand daughter. She was about three when sh did this. She wanted to make up knock knock jokes but didn’t understand them, so she would just whisper something in your ear that made no sense. You would repeat it back with who on the end and and she would say something even more nonsensical. Everyone got a different “joke”. All I can remember of mine is that when I reply with the who on the end, my answer was “POOT!” and she was cracking up! I guess you had to be there, but every time I need a smile, I just say “POOT!” to myself and I think of how blessed I am to have wonderful children and grandchildren. Despite feeling depressed a lot, I am BLESSED and God is good!
So many chances…eh I’m going to just stick with one. No time for the others in this crazy busy school/mother life of mine. Seriously lovely fabrics you have floating around in your stash – thank you for the opportunity to win. Btw, this weeks QAL block is lovely…can’t wait to make it to get to nine…oh and this is the first QAL I’ve ever kept up with. Big Smile to you, my friend.
so sorry you are going through a down time, I’ve been there & I feel for you. Thank you for the lovely giveaway!
and I am a follower, love your blog
Yes depression totally sucks! I’m finally feeling like I’m on my way out of this last tough bout. I hope you are as well. I asked my 2.5 year old for something funny to tell someone who is sad to cheer them up and she said, “Gak, gak, gak ,silly, silly, silly.” I’m sure you feel much better now.
Thanks for the giveaway!

Picture a kitten sitting very still then BAM! she jumps staight up in the air, does a 360, hits the ground, tears down the hall, stops to fast, looses her footing, slides two feet and then starts chasing her tail like a maniac because she’s sure that’s what caused her to slide and she’s going to teach it a lesson! Hope that brought a smile.

Ooh depression is not fun to deal with. I’ve had the same thing now for months. I KNOW I’m depressed but don’t care which doesn’t help getting over that does it. ugh.
Ok how about happy stuff? Well, for me anyway …….we’re now down to less than a week before we get to see our next Grandchild. This one is another Granddaughter so I’m THRILLED that I get to have another little girl to spoil after having my own three boys and then hubby bringing another one into our lives.

Happy Story? Hmmm can’t think of anything at the moment but if you aren’t having -13C and 6 inches of snow you can smile because that’s what we have at the moment! Boy it’s freezing here (France!) oh something that does make me happy is my dog is nearly 19 years old! How about that. Thanks for a lovely giveaway.

Happy story for you:
Sometimes your kids say the sweetest things when they don’t think you’re listening. Just the other day I overheard my 4-year-old daughter tell her 2-year-old brother, “I love you.” Now, this may be an ordinary occurrence for most families, but my sweet little girl rarely says those words even though we say them to each other and to our kids all the time. I think I can count on one hand the number of times she said it to anyone. It made me feel so good to hear my reticent little girl opening up and sharing her heart to her brother.
I follow your blog.
Here in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada the temperature today will climb to -3 ……BUT we have clear skies and the sun is shining !! Our winters usually are very cold but sunny. As long as the sun is out I am happy.
I hope the sun is shining for you soon.

I’m sharing a joke — well, not actually a *joke* but a really cute story– that I got in today’s email! Made me smile– hope it will do the same for you!
The ‘Middle Wife’ by an Anonymous 2nd grade teacher
I’ve been teaching now for about fifteen years.. I have two kids myself,but the best birth story I know is the one I saw in my own second grade classroom a few years back.
When I was a kid, I loved show-and-tell. So I always have a few sessions with my students. It helps them get over shyness and usually,show-and-tell is pretty tame. Kids bring in pet turtles, model airplanes, pictures of fish they catch, stuff like that. And I never, ever place any boundaries or limitations on them. If they want to lug it in to school and talk about it, they’re welcome.
Well, one day this little girl, Erica, a very bright, very outgoing kid, takes her turn and waddles up to the front of the class with a pillow stuffed under her sweater.
She holds up a snapshot of an infant. ‘This is Luke, my baby brother, and I’m going to tell you about his birthday.’
‘First, Mom and Dad made him as a symbol of their love, and then Dad put a seed in my Mom’s stomach, and Luke grew in there. He ate for nine months through an umbrella cord.’
She’s standing there with her hands on the pillow, and I’m trying not to laugh and wishing I had my camcorder with me. The kids are watching her in amazement.
‘Then, about two Saturdays ago, my Mom starts saying and going, ‘Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh!’ Erica puts a hand behind her back and groans. ‘She walked around the house for, like an hour, ‘Oh, oh, oh!’ (Now this kid is doing ahysterical duck walk and groaning.)
‘My Dad called the middle wife. She delivers babies, but she doesn’t have a sign on the car like the Domino’s man.. They got my Mom to lie down in bed like this.’ (Then Erica lies down with her back against the wall.)
‘And then, pop! My Mom had this bag of water she kept in there in case he got thirsty, and it just blew up and spilled all over the bed, like psshhheew!’ (This kid has her legs spread with her little hands mimicking water flowing away. It was too much!)
‘Then the middle wife starts saying ‘push, push,’ and ‘breathe, breathe.
They started counting, but never even got past ten.. Then, all of a sudden, out comes my brother. He was covered in yucky stuff that they all said it was from Mom’s play-center, (placenta) so there must be a lot of toys inside there. When he got out, the middle wife spanked him for crawling up in there.’
Then Erica stood up, took a big theatrical bow and returned to her seat.
I’m sure I applauded the loudest.. Ever since then, when it’s show-and-tell day, I bring my camcorder, just in case another ‘ Middle Wife’ comes along.
Now you have two choices….laugh and close this page or pass this along to someone else to spread the laughs. I know what I did!!!
This is so good.
Live every day as if it is your LAST chance to make someone happy!!!

Hi! Thanks for the giveaway, so generous! We have a 3 year old who has decided to talk openly about nipples…so that gets fun when he informs everyone that his are “tiny”, mom’s are “big”, and then goes on to evaluate all other sizes of those in the room…makes for some interesting times when we have guests! Hope you get to do something enjoyable just for you today, often all I need is a little time just for myself to do whatever ridiculousness I feel like!
Hope you feel better soon. And congratulations! Love the fabrics.

Here’s a happy story: I bought an extra bag of Lindt chocolates at the store yesterday when I was buying Valentine’s presents for teachers and just realized it, so my kids and I just ate them all, and it’s not even lunchtime yet!
I am a follower and a fellow quilt alonger who is a little behind (2 blocks to be exact).
Here are a few funny things I never imagined I would say as a parent: “get your fingers out of your bottom!” “Stop flipping off my couch! (headfirst might I add!). The other day I heard a blood curdling scream at 7 am “mommy mommy mommy!!!!” I jump out of bed half asleep in a panic and totally blind – left my glasses on the night table – I get in her room and she smiles at me and says “no more nye nights – morning!” It’s a good thing she is cute!

Good Morning! Sorry you’re having such a bad day. I know about depression- have suffered from it for years. When I am feeling down, I like to go in my sewing room and just sit and listen to my radio. I don’t remember any jokes right now or I would tell you one. But I hope that you feel better soon. Thank you for giving away such beautiful fabric.

Quotes from Maya Angelou: I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.
I’ve learned that making a ‘living’ is not the same thing as making a life.
I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.
I hope your day goes well.

I have not yet been quilting a year and have only one finished. I have stopped at the bit where they need machine quilting. I’ve got three of those. I am doing your quilt along. It’s the first one ever for me and I LOVE IT. Thanks so much for doing it. My life is sometimes quite difficult and this is some happy time for me every week making each block. Thank you so much.

I completed a lap quilt for my aunt who turns 80 Feb 17!! I started to make the quilt in January and had it all done two days ago!! Man am I ever proud and relieved and pleased with the results!! I only wish that I could be there when she gets her present but she lives too far away.
A man has five items in his bathroom: a toothbrush, razor, shaving cream, a bar of soap, and a towel from the Motel 6.

Sorry to hear you feeling out of sorts… my husband said the other day that he was feeling out of joints – not sure where he got that from but he meant out of sorts and now my sister who was in the room thinks he was talking about drugs and she was too nice to push him to clarify… now she thinks he does drugs and the whole thing turned into a big mess. Anyway, it was kind of funny. Hope you feel better soon.

We all get blue sometimes and look forward to the new day dawning. Sorry you’re feeling out of sorts. You’re not in that boat alone though.
Hope to cheer you a bit.
Telling on myself. The other morning (the morning after the SuperBowl- that would be Monday) I heard the news man say that somebody had slipped their little finger to the camera’s. Now, I don’t REALLY live under a rock =- but sometimes I just have to laugh at myself. LITTLE FINGER? I even thought for a minute – what does the little finger mean? Maybe that’s something new or maybe she thought she could get away with flipping her little finger at the cameras. Now REALLY – I think I’m going to have to check my hearing.
OK I know this has nothing to do with quilting – but while I was “listening” to the game – I was upstairs on my computer looking and searching over at The Spider Web for her SuperBowl Icon so I could win $25.
OH WELL!

Did you hear about the blonde who was offered an upgrade from her balcony cabin on the side of the cruise ship to a much larger suite aft? She refused it because, “If the back of the ship is better, there would be more cabins back there instead of on the sides of the ship.” Thanks for the giveaway!
Here’s a joke: Person 1: If you could have any animal in your zoo, what would you have? Person 2: I would have a dog. Person 1: That would be a shit-zoo! Apologies for the terrible joke – I hope it made you smile!

A happy story… we rescued a dog off the street the other day and she is the nicest thing. I don’t understand how people just dump a dog in some random neighborhood. But she is adorable and she follows me all around the house. A real sweetheart.

I am hopeless at remembering the punch line of jokes but can remember this from when our eldest son was about 5 (he is 27 now!)
Knock knock
Who’s there?

Amos who?
A mosquito just bit me – he pronounced mosquito wrong and my husband and I fell about laughing, so he kept repeating the joke for the rest of the journey. We didn’t have the heart to tell him.

Hi! Depression is hard for others to understand. I know only too well- you get people who have no idea, telling you to cheer up, etc. Wish it was that easy.:(
Your giveaway is lovely.

Oh yeah, depression sucks. As does Anxiety which usually accompanies it. For me anyway. My meds have been working pretty well lately, but I’m sorry to hear you’re feeling down. How sweet to cheer yourself by giving to others. That’s a happy story! I’m terrible at jokes, so the only happy story I can think of at the moment is that my son (freshman with learning disabilities) got the courage to talk to his professor today about trying not to fail the class. That was a big step for him, regardless of whether the teacher helps him or not.
Yup, I’m a follower and read through Google Reader.
Oh no, I’m sorry you’ve been feeling down lately! I’m terrible at thinking up funny stories (bad memory) and funny jokes (bad jokes, hehe), so how about something that cheers me up: addictive Korean dramas! http://www.hulu.com/genres/Foreign-Language/Korean?type=tv I highly recommend Coffee Prince, Flower Boy Ramen Shop, and You’re Beautiful.
I follow you (in my reader), of course.
I hope a unicorn farts in your general direction today! (…to mix memes) [I mean it in a nice way!] 
I am so sorry you are depressed and I am in the same frame of mind you are but the sad part about my depression is where I am and that I have no reason to be even remotely depressed (well not really but I could be handling it different) Anyway, I am in the middle of Florida, it is amazingly warm and sunshiny. I have been to visit my Greek Village and bought my wonderful olive oil and goats milk soaps, picked up some more of my treasured facial sponges, they do scrub the creases and wrinkles clean and my face always feels so good. Let me tell you about Bella Nina. She is an amazing Greek lady who has this fabulous soap and sponge shop in Tarpon Springs. The first time I met her was about 10 years ago and she looked to be in her 50′s with absolutely beautiful skin, not a wrinkle or crease to be seen. I left the shop empty handed, feeling pretty stupid for not buying something but I felt pretty ignorant about facial cleaning and olive oil. I mean “ick” olive oil on my face, I didn’t think so then but 2 years later I learned a lot and felt bad that I didn’t ask questions. Bella Nina makes her own soap right there in her shop and waits on all the customers and sometimes will put you to work to finish a batch so she can wait on you and others. Bella Nina adopted me and taught me some valuable life lessons. She is a “sun lover” and is as dark as a nut. She told me this “Darling, you are never too old to have beautiful skin if you just use the right products.” She hugged me, sat me in a chair and absolutely scrubbed my face raw with this little bitty “wool” sponge. OMG it just stung and stung, but she wasn’t done by any means. She then scrubbed my face with a “silk” sponge and an oatmeal goats milk soap. It felt better then and after rinsing with a homogenized milk wash she washed my face with this marvelous lavender and aloe soap, after which she rinsed it with the homogenized milk wash. I couldn’t believe how clean my face felt and how it glowed (okay so some of the glow was from that scrubbing she gave me) but it was amazing. Then her final words were “Darling, look at my skin, I have lived in the sun most of my life and I am 78 years old!!! OMG, she just couldn’t be that age but yes she was. I visited with her yesterday and she filled my goodie basket up with “what I needed” and then added what she “wanted me to have”. She is amazing girls and now is 84 years old and still looks 50ish. I had not seen Bella Nina for 6 years and thought surely she had forgotten me. Not at all. She nearly lept over the counter when I walked in said “Mama Bella Nina”. We now have promised to stay in touch as she is using a computer. She called “Poppa Bella Nina” (yes I call him that because I cannot pronounce his Greek name. Hugs all around, more goodies slipped into the bag, kisses and best wishes and I was sent on my way. I do hope I get to see “Mama Bella Nina” again!
My long story, it cheered me up to tell you, I hope it cheers you up too.

Oh dear, no joke from me as I have my own black dog at the moment. But how about a song? Aussie muso – have you heard this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSF_l0NIFSE

Okay, so there’s a young lady trying to board a bus, but the problem is that she’s wearing this ‘great’ leather skirt that is so tight she literally cannot lift her knee to step on. So, she surreptitiously reaches behind her, unzips her zipper a bit, and tries again. Yet, it’s not better.
So, she tries the same thing again, to no avail. Figuring why not, she tries a third time and just unzips it the whole way–still, this does nothing.
Suddenly a big pair of hands pick her up and stick her right into that bus, and she turns around indignantly to a large man behind her and says, “How dare you put your hands on me!”
He shrugs back and says, “Well ma’am, I figured since you undid my zipper the whole way that we were pretty good friends.”
An elderly patient in my hospital told me that one night, I know I thought it was funny.
Knock knock!

I’m sorry to hear you’re feeling down and out. I have been there as well. One ot the things I say to myself is “this too shall pass”. Don’t be hard on yourself. If you can sit, with your face to the sun and just totally relax for 15 minutes, also helps. Ok, as requested here is a joke. How about a Blonde joke?
An airline captain was breaking in a new blonde stewardess. The route they were flying had a layover in another city. Upon their arrival, the captain showed the stewardess the best place for airline personnel to eat, shop and stay overnight.
The next morning, as the pilot was preparing the crew for the day’s route, he noticed the new stewardess was missing. He knew which room she was in at the hotel and called her up wondering what happened. She answered the phone, crying, and said she couldn’t get out of her room. “You can’t get out of your room?” the captain asked, “Why not?”
The stewardess replied: “There are only three doors in here,” she sobbed, “one is the bathroom, one is the closet, and one has a sign on it that says ‘Do Not Disturb’!”
Not a gut buster but hope it made you smile.
Thanks for your giveaway for us and a chance to win.

I found that when I was going through clinical depression, giving things usually helped me out of it – making a bright spot in other people’s lives. But sometimes it was an awful effort.
As for a funny story…I don’t really have one. But I have cute cat photos?
OMG GIANT DOGGIE! *WIBBLES*

My quilt. MINE.

I did read a cute story on blog friends blog- her little one invented a new word agustan ( something pretty yucky) It was agustan when Bryce dropped his pants in class…
Hope I gave you a giggle- thanks for the chance to win such a nice prize.

I have two jokes I love, and they’re kinda related. Here goes:
#1 A group of tourists were driving through a vast wasteland of prairie grasses and dry dusty roads. Upon seeing and passing by a couple of emaciated buffalo, one woman comments to her husband about how ugly the critters are. One buffalo turns to the other and says, I think I just heard a discouraging word!
#2 It’s actually a Leanin Tree Card with a picture of a tiny cowboy and his horse perched on top of a stove. The inside says “Despite their familiarity with the song, Caleb and Nellie never did feel at home on the range!”
My favorite motto right now is “I’m so busy I don’t know if I found a rope or lost my horse!”

Happy story? I’ve made 3 infinity scarves in the last 24hrs, one for me, my girls saw it this morning and begged for one each, so they pulled some flannel from my stash after breakfast and said please could I make them while they are at school and ‘please mummy can you bring them with you when you pick us up?

This joke is romance and tax season rolled into one:
The accountant had just read the story of Cinderella to his four-year-old daughter for the first time. The little girl was fascinated by the story, especially the part where the pumpkin turns into a golden coach. Suddenly she piped up,
“Daddy, when the pumpkin turned into a golden coach, would that be classed as income or a long-term capital gain?”
My story is that both my son (when he was young) and grandson are the ones who loved to help me sew. None of my girls sew
But I hope to get my granson quilting soon!

such a generous giveaway – thank you so much. wish I could think of a funny story. I do have a cute one…the morning after Halloween I heard someone at my front door VERY early, about 7am. I went downstairs to find a package had been put thru my mailbox. It was a Butterfingers candy bar wrapped in a note from my favorite 8 year old neighbor. he knew I loved Buterfingers and saved the large one he had received the day before just for me. He brought it down before he headed off to school.

A young woman was taking an afternoon nap. After she woke up, she told her husband, “I just dreamed that you gave me a pearl necklace for Valentine’s day. What do you think it means?” “You’ll know tonight.” he said. That evening, the man came home with a small package and gave it to his wife. Delighted, she opened it–only to find a book entitled “The meaning of dreams”.

First off, just hang in there. I went through a really bad depression about 6 years ago. Thought I was never going to come out of it, but just took it one day at a time and eventually I did come around. But it was no fun while it was happening. Things will get better, please believe that and take care of yourself. I am a follower, but don’t really care about the fabric-just worried for you.

Sorry to hear you are feeling some depression. I am with you, girl! I have had a whole lot of stress caused by one particular family member that has made my days full of fear to hear my phone ring! Afraid it will be him again. Pretty pitiful, huh? I actually found a ‘silent’ ringer to put on my phone, so when he calls, I cannot hear it and it goes to voicemail. Not funny, but so true. I was just looking up last night about vitamins to take to see if it would help me out of my funk. Turns out all the vitamin B’s especially B-12. I take these anyway, but have been forgetting some days, so I have to get on the ball with myself. Sewing does get my mind of things and I know it will help you, too. And lots of prayers! LOTS. And I will turn on the local Christian music station and listen while I sew. It helps me focus on what really is iimportant. Funny story? hmmmmm….. I have been trying to think of something funny to post for a full 5 minutes and cannot think of one thing! I guess I better double up on my B vitamins and go do some quilting. Adding you to my prayers. Hugs, Linda
I babysit for a 2 year old. The other day as I took her out of her highchair & set her down she very clearly said, “Time to run amok!” Hope that makes you smile as it did me and hope you feel better soon. Thanks for the chance to win some great fabric.

Here’s a little something to cheer: Today I will live in the moment, unless the moment is unpleasant…in which case I will eat a cookie.
I had a fun art day yesterday. I was “shopping” for some papercraft stuff and had picked up all of a Tim Holtz Configuration boxes that was on sale, for future use of course! Two ladies came in while I was still shopping and were looking for the same box and I shared me booty with them and gave them each a box since there were none left. As we were talking they both said they were quitlers so since I am VP of the Dallas Area Fiber Artists in Texas I invited both of them to come to our meetings and they said they’d love to. Hope they show up, that will complete the circle of happiness!! Thanks for the giveaway, it’s fabulous!!

Beautiful fabric gifts for some lucky person. I have depression too on and off for years. Sewing and baking are my therapy, which is also while I am now poor and fat!
Lovely fabrics and a positive thought – when life gives you lemons, make lemonade!
I’m a follower! I think when you see how many people have commented to lift your spirits, you can’t help but feel connected to people and know they care — even if they don’t really know you. That’s huge.
Oh, and I’ve “Facebooked you!
Kahil Gibran reminds us that our joy is only as deep as our sorrow —
“The deeper Sorrow carves into your being, the more Joy you can contain.”
Possibly not comforting, but perhaps it will remind you of how expansive your joys have been and are.
Hiya
I’m sorry to hear you are struggling with depression. It does get better! After 3 years on the mad pills I have halved my dose in the last few months, largely due to the therapeutic qualities of crafting.
which will then mean we can start trying for a baby! That’s an awful lot of happy for one person, so here, share it with me!
I shall attempt to cheer you with some news that will have no impact on your life at all, but has made my day, and I hope will be infectious! Today, my partner, who has been unemployed since last september, has got a new job! Which is brilliant enough in its own! Plus we may be able to crawl our way out of our horrendous debt..plus I can now afford to buy fabric again. And now we may actually be able to afford to get married this year

And for my second chance – a comment. A joke. Old and corny, but clean! Where did the music teacher leave her keys? In the piano! Now I’ll be up all night looking at the linky party blogs.
Hi I’m new to Reading your blog after a tweet by twitter. I tend to read your blog when I’m feeding my baby girl in midle of night. I hope you are feeling better soon. I know only to well how you feel. But I think us women are much stronger than we believe we are. That’s my theory today. Keep your head high. And if all else fails sing dori song (from finding nemo) just keep swimming, just keep swimming. X
I just started to follow……everyone! I don’t get much house work done and am fortunate to have a hubby that doesn’t mind that it gets cluttered around here
some happy here is that even with cold wintery temps the last week or so, I’ve seen daffodil greens popping up. Spring is coming – hooray!
Congrats on the awesome achievement!

Joke for You: What do you call dog kisses? Give up? Pooches Smooches.
Have a great day! and I love the fabric you are giving away – beautiful!!
I have just started following your blog, too.
hello!
This is my entry. I just discovered Will & Lily fabric today and love it! My daughter’s just got excited about making things, so this would be a lovely way to start (for me!). It’s ok to feel depressed. It will pass. Tomorrow, the sun may shine, and you may have a great day. You’re not alone either. Doing something this bold is going to be especially hard sometimes. Give yourself credit for all the amazing things you have done, and permission to take a rest and look after yourself for a bit. x
I follow (stalk?) you on Facebook!
I am a new follower! Love your Blog!
I don’t really have a funny story or a joke, but I would like to thank you for your wonderful tutorials and great inspiration! I am new to quilting and in fact sewing, and I love your tutorials because I can complete them because they are easy to follow and understand! Thank you so much for your blog!
I am a rather new follower and love your blog. I would love to have this wonderful giveaway.
A thought for today that has helped me through many hard times.
Change what you can and change how you think about the things that you cannot.
